 He tells us 'welcome idiots' and literally makes fun of us with an album that, even when analyzed with the best of intentions, leads absolutely nowhere.

While a couple of tracks stand out, the album overall fails to engage. The reviewer also finds the cover art unattractive and the album too long. Discover if Infam's 'Welcome Idiots' lives up to the hype or falls flat—read the full review and listen for yourself!
